How is USA today even doing these awards given the nature of this year? I mean shouldn't a show need to have at least one show run to be considered?
USA Today doesn't give a single fuck. They have ad revenue to harvest from these gullible parks' loyal fans! Plus, after the Halloween event poll from 2019 (?) the bar has already been set—you're eligible regardless of whether or not your attraction actually exists! As long as someone is willing to click a USA Today link, that's good enough for them!
